The party was cloootcd with General Otis for more than an hour , but the lutor- Uow was decidedly unsatisfactory , the coau- mlsslon having nothing definite to propose and being unompowered to negotiate tcrma. The commissioners brought a communica tion direct from Agutnaldo asking for an nrmlatlco pending the decision of the ( Filipino congress as to what policy should Iio ndoplcd , As before , General Otis re fused to entertain the proposition. The commissioners after leaving the city ball accepted nn Invitation to visit the Ore- Ken and the other vessels of the Ameri can fleet In the bay , and they were granted permission lo see their families before re turning Koliliu I'lixliliiK Dp Illo Grande.

The road wound close to ( lie stream ana Iho country was thickly sattlcd. It was a picturesque march. Many gioups of huii- dreds of natives were clustered under the trees on the opposite banks displaying whits , shirts , tov.els , sheets or anything white o- * jiolcs Some shouted welcomes to ttio American soldiers , but most of them main tained a sullen silence.

The natives , who had assembled on the snore , crowded about the Americans with fulsom expressions of friendship , apparently half nfrald that they would be massacred Captain Grant quickly distributed tlio meii from the gunboat Laguna de Day to guard thn town , nnd the natives sent a messenger to tell the people , who had taken refuge In the swamps , to return.

The leaders have strongly Impressed this belief upon them and have told stories of tnassacies , rapes end Filipino victories. The walls of the towns wore placarded with re ports of the slaughter of Americans , hun dreds of whom were said to have been taken pilaoncrs.

The Filipino Junta at Hong Kong has cabled to the London office tot the Associated Press saying It U un true that General Luna Is wounded or has i surrendered , contradicting the report that [ General Montenegro Is dead and anuouns- jlng that the difficulty between Luna and jMascado Is settled The dispatch adds that thu opinion pre vails iu Manila that the peace negotiations have failed because Major General Otis dc- mnmled the unconditional surrender of nil nrnn as a preliminary.

" AGUINALDO SPARS FOR TIME Opinion at WanlilnKtoii tlint Hie Ga llic CoiiiinlMNloiiprn AVI 11 ( let Little SatlNfaotlon. WASHINGTON , 'May ' 20 The cable from General Otis today Indicates to the War de partment that the committee which is now In 'Manila ' will accomplish nothing because It has no authority to negotiate for actual peaco. The Importance of the visit of the commission Is In the evident desire of the Filipinos to end hostilities. There Is nn Im pression also that Agulnaldo Is playing for time In his request. No Instructions or sug gestions will be sent to General Otis by the department. The officials are confident that ho has the matter well in hand and is better able to know what Is best to do. From the manner In which General Otis has handled past negotiations with the Filipinos pines there Is llttlo doubt that he will re fuse the request for the armistice asked. The position of the American tree | s in the Philippines Is Mich ns to render It possible to Inflict great damage to the Filipinos with out Eorlous loss to our forces. General Otis being aware of the feeling of the people , as shown by the press dispatches , no doubt believes the Filipino rebellion Is the exhor tation of Agulnnldo and that his request for an armistice Is for gaining ground.

THE HAGUE , May 20 The second sit ting of the Peace conference took place this morning and lasted thlrty-flvo minutes. The president of the conference , Baron de Staal , icad the replies nf the czar and Queen Wllhelmlna to the telegrams sent to them by tlia conference on Thursday. The presi dent then addressed the delegates on the subject of the labors before them and it wa decided not to publish the speech. The president proposed the adoption of the arrangements for the committees , which was agreed to without discussion. Baron dc Staal further proposed that , although the principle of secrecy should be maintained , communications might be made through the press bureau , subject to the approval of the president. This was also adopted. At the conclusion of the conference today M. do Steal , Sir Julian Pauncefote , the Brit ish ambassador at Washington and the head ' of the British delegation , and the United States ambassador at Berlin , Mr. Andrew D. White , head of the American delegation , wltn several of the other chief delegates , re turned to The Hague for lunch. M. Bour geois , former premier of France and head of the French delegation , and almost nil the second technical delegates , who form part of the committees , remained at the "House In the Woods" to draw up certain lists. They wore occupied also with the organization of committees. 'Ihe proceedings today passed off with out any Incident , only the president spoke , the others manifesting their approbation by bllghti discreet murmurs. Several of the chief delegates are leaving The Hague for a few days , pending the pre liminary work of the committees. Barou de Staal during the course of the day received the following dispatch : The emperor begs you to be the Interpreter to the conference of his sincere and waimcbt wishes. My august master charges me to Impress upon your excellency how much Ills majesty Is touched by the telegram ad dressed to him. MUHAVIEFF. It was learned during the day that M. de Stnnl placed the question of mediation and arbitration In the forefront during his speech today. The question of thu laws of war rendering war as humane as possible by the extension of the regulations already existing was then touched upon by the president and he relegated the question of the reduction of armaments to the third place. This Indication modules the order In which the three points were placed In the circular of the Russian minister of foreign affairs , Count Muravleff , but It has thn merit of corresponding more closely to the vlous of the delegates and It Is now certain that medi ation and arbitration will have the chief place In the work of the conference. Further , the opinion Is unanimous that the American and British delegates will take the most Important part In the study of this question , The conference decided today that all delegates , Including the technical represent atives , are to participate In the sittings and join in the discussions , The date of the next sitting has not yet been flxcd. It depends upon the progress which will be made by the committees , M. de Staal announced today that the gov ernment of the Netherlands would give an artistic fete on Juno 16 In honor of the conference.

( Now York World Cablegram Special Telegram ) Hlclurd Crokcr has left for Ireland , where ho Is to visit several friends. He says he Intends to buy a country house there It he sees one to his liking. The second carbuncle Is apparently not causing him much trouble , although he has not been going to the race meetings and has passed his time at his place at Wantage , where ho has been running about the downs with his trainer , looking after his hoii.es or reading the newspapers under the veranda and smoking big cigars. Ted Sloan felt very keenly his defeat by Sam Loatos In the match race between Dwyer's Shopperton and Howanberry , ridden by Loatea. The horses are mere platers and the stake was only $ f > 00 , but the meetIng - Ing was a duel between Loates and Sloan. Hver slnco Sloan got Loates suspended last jear at Manchester for boring , there has been the strongest possible feeling between them , especially on Loatos' side. Recently , when the latter had a walkover In a race , ho rode past the stand mimicking Sloan's style to the great amusement of the on lookers , although the exhibition was not considered In the best taste. When Loates beat Sloan by a neck on Howanberry he got a tremendous reception. In token of the victory , which undoubt edly was a fair trial of horBCinanshlp , Lontes purchased Rowanbcrry and sent him to bis stables to save him from being ulti mately sold for a cab horse. This week Sloan has been 'xkin * a rest and as a result has bosn naased bv four Jockeys In the number of winning mounts. Ills rival. Sam Loates , IB now heading the list , 35 wins out of 134 mounts ; M Can non , 34 wins out of 131 : T. Loa'eu , 34 cut of 202 ; Madden. 33 out of 210 ; Sloan , 32 out of 74. which , of course , Is much the high est average. Sloan has been plgaon shoot ing this week with much success. The List week has been a very quiet one and Iho only triumph achieved by an American horse was by Henssalaer In the Somersot- shlie stakca. Both of Hugcins' 2-year-olds are , however - over , looking wonderfully well and should bo thoroughly wound up by the time of the Ascot meetlnc. The best is sail to bo Old Buck II. a chestnut and own brother to Myakka , by Sensation-Magnetic. Croker has not been at Newmarket lately , but has been about hh stables. Some of his 2-ycar-olds are reported to be very promising and I hear that he will have a strong contlncent brought over from Amer ica shortly. Newmarket people are laughing over the following llttlo dialogue between Pincus and Sam Louies : Pincus What do you think of Sloan ? Loates Not much. I wish he was at the bottom of the sea.

The fate of the Anglo- American Canadian commission Is naturally regarded h re as n matter of great Im portance and the various rumois and re. ports on the subject attract much atten tion. A dispatch from Washington to the effect that the resumption of the commis sion's labor depends on n settlement of the Alaskan boundary dispute has been prominently published in this city and a representative of the Associated Press mode Inqulrlt-a nt the center of the negotiations In London. From an unlmpeaclinble source ho obtained the following statement : "Tho thorny nature of the Alaskan ques tion makes It probable that on the re sumption of the slttl'igs of the commission It will bo withdrawn from discussion , to bo taken up later should circumstances bo favorable. The Alaskan question , In fact , has practically been dropped out of the discussions and the statement tliat Its dis cussion * and settlement will be made the sine qua non of the resumption of the sit tings of the commission Is Inaccurate. " The representative of the Associated Press was assured that the matter has been dis cussed In the mobt conciliatory spirit on both sides. The newspapers express regret at the fact that tbo Alaskan dispute has grown moro acute at a time when the rela tions between the two countries are so cor dial and the news that the conference will probably bo resumed In the autumn has given satisfaction. T i Glebe , commenting upon the dispatch of American troops to Alaska , says : "Pending the meeting of the conference Uio drat step to bo tnkon nfter the .prelim inaries are settled will Iw to anungc a modus vlvendl and no time must be lost In doing this.

" The attempt to make the anniversary of Mr. Gladstone's death , May 19 , the occasion for a great party demonstration , similar to the conservative Primrose day , must be written down as a failure. Tlio liberal or gans urged the wearing of a white button ( the white flower of a blameless life ) , as It was christened by the party papers , but the Idea , did not become popular and hardly a citizen In London was seen wearing one , whllo even In the liberal and radical clubs few people adopted tlie Idea. The fund for a national memorial to Mr. Gladstone Is also not the success antici pated. The fund has been opened for nearly a year and has secured only 30,000 , In stead of the minimum of .Cr.0,000 needed to carry out the proposed scheme. This failure was in spite of the fact that the prince of Wales acted as president of the committee , -which Included many of VLT. Gladstone's political opponents , Ilko tlio I duke of Devonshire , George Goschcn , Henry Chnplon and the duke of Westminster. The j anniversary of Mr. Gladstone's death yes- i tcrday was poorly celebrated. The family and the villagers attended a memorial serv- i Ice nt Hawnrden church. Canon Scott Hol land officiated at the service at Mr. Glad stone's London church , St. Peter's , Wind mill street , In the presence of a largo con gregation. In addition there were small meetings In provincial towns. Colonel MacDonald , the hero of the bat tle of Omdurman , who has been feted since his return to England , has just announced himself strongly In favor of conscription. Ho said : "Conscription will come In Great Britain , though only gradually. The army cannot compote with the labor army. We must adopt a liberal conscription like Got- , many , which will be good for the army and good for the country.

As the Olympla passed the Oregon the crew of that battleship gave nine cheers for the Olympians , who responded by throwing their caps so high that dozens of thorn were left bobbing In the wake of the cruiser. Then followed the noisiest half hour known In this hai'hor since the battlb which linked Its name with that of IJewey.

Tlio actual depar ture of the Olympla was made known In the following flvo words coming by cable from Captain Darker at Manila : "Olympla , Hong Kong. Assumed com mnnd. " The understanding at the Navy depart ment Is that tlio admiral will spend about two weeks at Hong Kong , for the Olympln Is to bo docked and the drab war paint must bo covered with tlie spotless white which makes the American naval ship the most beautiful In the world. In the absence of other Information , It Is n mmcd that the Olympla , from Hong Kong , will tnko the usual course of war ships com ing homo by way of the Suez canal. It will touch first after Hong Kong nt Slngapois , then nt Colombo , then perhaps at Aden nt the entrance of the Red sea , to take on a crew of Lascars to flro the boilers In Uio Intensely hot passage through that t > ea and the Suez canal. Stops will bo made of neces sity nt Suez and Poll Said. It Is assumed that Malta will bo touched , nnd perhapt > Genoa or Nice before reaching Gibraltar. Leaving the Mediterranean , tlio Olympla will stand straight acioss the Atlantic , though It may put In at the Azores for two The tlmo that should be occupied by such a trip Is variously estimated by naval oin- cors , but the average Is about seventy daj > from today. However , tlie public will soon bo able to get a more accurate knowledge of the Itinerary , for within u few dajs the Navy department will be In possession of the schedule of the ship's movements. Hope to Honor Dewey. LONDON , May 20. A representative of tl'o Associated Press had n chat with Lord Charles Bcresford vvltli reference to the home-coming of Admiral Dewey from Manila. He said "There Is nothing we would like better than to have I Admiral Dewey call at nn English port on his way home. Every one of us would show I him In true British fashion how much vto recognlre his brilliant work nt Manila. He Is sure , however , to meet with n fitting re- ceptlpn nt any of the British naval stations ho touches at. But I fear he Is not likely to come nearer English tliores than Gib raltar. " Later a representative of the Associated Pres's made Inquiries at the admiralty hero and was Informed that directly Admiral Dewoy's exact route Is known Instructions for his suitable reception will be sent to fcteamshlps flying the British ling.
